Alaric Bond

    Alaric Bond schreibt fesselnde historische Seefahrer-Fiktion, die den Leser in die Welt der „Nelsons Marine“ während der Revolutions- und Napoleonischen Kriege eintauchen lässt. Seine innovative Erzähltechnik verzichtet auf einen zentralen Helden und bietet stattdessen einen realistischen und spannenden Eindruck vom Leben an Bord eines Kriegsschiffes der damaligen Zeit durch Charaktere aller Ränge. Obwohl Bond neue Richtungen in seinem Schreiben erforscht, bleibt seine etablierte Serie ein wichtiger Schwerpunkt. Seine Werke versprechen eine authentische und fesselnde Reise in das maritime Leben der Epoche.

      1811 and the war with France continues although conflict of another kind is raging on America's Eastern Seaboard. For many years oppressive trade sanctions have soured Britain's relations with the newly formed United States; tensions rise further as seamen are illegally pressed and what had been a purely economic dispute soon turns into something far more deadly.Amid the conflict and confusion of fierce political debate, those aboard the frigate HMS Tenacious must also do battle with illegal slavery, powerful privateers, violent tropical storms and enemies that had once been the best of friends.With vivid naval action and intense personal dynamics, The Seeds of War tells a gripping tale of loyalty, ambition and true camaraderie.
